Flying from Istanbul to Athens
With their ancient buildings and rich cultural heritages, Istanbul and Athens are two of the most fascinating cities in Europe. As you plan a trip to Athens, use the tools at Orbitz.com to book flights from Istanbul to Athens and find hotel rooms that will give you easy access to the city’s top sights.
Departing from Istanbul
The Istanbul Ataturk International Airport is located about twelve miles west of the city center. If you’re driving or taking a taxi to the airport, allow at least an hour to get in. Parking is available at the airport in the multilevel parking garage, the open parking lot, or the valet parking area. You can also take the tram to the Aksaray stop and connect to the Metro, which runs to the airport.
Experience Athens
The Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, located about twenty-two miles from downtown Athens, serves the Athens area. If you’re planning to rent a car, prepare to spend up to an hour or more in the car if traffic is heavy. An easier way to get into the city is aboard the suburban railway line or the Metro. If you’re staying in the center of Athens, you’ll be within a quick Metro ride or a short walk of most of the major attractions. The most popular site for visitors is the Acropolis, which sits atop a hill surrounded by other ruins. Other great sites to visit include the Museum of Cycladic Art and the National Archaeological Museum. If you’re visiting in the summer, prepare for days that reach 90°F on a regular basis. Winter days average 50°F, which is a comfortable temperature for climbing Athens’ many hills.
Traveling to Athens
Although Athens is famous for its ancient Greek architecture, it offers something for every type of traveler. Whether you’re interested in hiking or fine dining, you’ll find a wide range of activities to fill your days. To make your trip easier, use Orbitz.com to book flights from Istanbul to Athens.
